Pot-Smoking Teen Mom Drives Away With 5-Week-Old Son on the Roof of the Car: Accident or Crime?

Not too much effort, ten seconds to apply, forty five minutes to let it soak while you do housework.

I agree that it doesn't take too much time, but doing housework? I don't see that
young lady knowing what "housework" means. I would be surprised if she knew how to take care of the baby (before the incident) which troubles me more.
But you made a good comment and I appreciate it now and in the future, thank you.

Thats horrible. No one accidentally leaves their kid on the roof of a car. No one.

UGH People like her infuriate me. Who the hell are you to be having a child and claim to be responsible enough to take care of it, yet not even be able to take care of YOURSELF? Drugs? Late night drunk driving? Wow. Real responsible. Now she's going to raise her child to grow up and be the slum of the earth just like her.. and multiply like rats... Cool.

WHat a moron, smoking marijuana I can be kinder on but to leave your baby on the car while you're driving high, this idiot needs to learn how to get things together.

Let's hope that baby gets adopted by someone responsible; obviously this person is not.

Accidental or not, it's child endangerment, which is a crime.

Be a drug-addled loser if you like (and yes, losers, marijuana is a drug), but if you can't put your baby before the zig-zags then you shouldn't be able to keep them

WTF this girl has no business having a kid and i sincerely hope that she gets the book throwed at her, loses the kid and I sincerely hope the baby is ok. She should be charged with DUI, Child Endangerment, Child Neglect, Child Abuse, Attempeted Manslaughter, and any other charges that could be possibly charged. This way she gets a nice long time to think about her actions in jail. I can not believe someone could possibly be this stupid and I just wish she could be charged with stupidity as well because as stupid as she is she would get a life sentence if stupidity was a crime.

that's a crime. i don't think she forgot her child,she just didn't give a damn
and besides that, she's a drinker and a drugged up careless oaf.

that seriuosly not kool

If she hadn't been smoking pot she probably wouldn't have spaced out and left her baby on the roof of her car. So, yes-she committed a crime. She's darn lucky that baby survived.

Its a crime period...

I can't see one good reason for her to have bred. Just out of curiosity i wonder how
many gov't programs little miss white trailer trash is getting money from.

Funny how people want it so badly.

VERY EXCELLENT REASON WHY DOPE SHOULD REMAIN ILLEGAL!! Dope and Booze, She is picture postcard of what a Mother Should Not look Like!! Throw the book at this dope head and throw away the keys before she can kill someone.

The name says it all, dope, if they make it legal they should make it illegal to leave your house while high. I think marijuana is ridiculous but I know many abuse, so they should at least have some consideration for others.

Thats discusting

I thought maybe an accident and then I saw her face

NO EXCUSES! that's not a soda you put on your roof, that's YOUR FLESH AND BLOOD CHILD! She was adult enough to have the child, adult enough to choose to smoke weed and even afterward head off to buy alcohol, I say make her face the consequences of her actions.

I had to pay a $250.00 ticket because my three year old daughter wanted to ride around the block with me while I test drove my newly repaired engine because I didn't put her in a car seat (which would have taken longer than the trip). I say the child gets a new family that doesn't use drugs or alcohol, Mommy gets some time in the can and never gets to see the child again.

I mean seriously look at the mugshot, she's STILL high and the only thing she's upset about is that she never got her beer!

I know what that is like, I got my uncle in trouble in the UK by sitting with him on the passenger side and getting pulled over on the M1 with the cop telling me step out of the vehicle and put me in the backseat and said that is where you belong lassie you are just eight years old. My uncle got a ticket for it but cannot blame him, I was first kid he had ever taken care of and driven around. I agree with what you say. She is not ready to be a mum she just proved she got caught while playing the game of life and brought it to term only to leave it on the roof of the car. That child needs someone who can love and cherish its being not this person who cannot take care of her own self.

She is first of all on drugs, then showing her irresponsibility towards the life she brought into the world. irrespective of how upset you are the first responsibility is for the safety of the child and I say this as victim of Domestic Violence wherein I had the the Protective services checking my child out in schools and monitoring his behaviour etc. until the father was ordered to leave the family and stay away from us as a protective measure. He chose to abandon the family later.
I was in depression under medication, working two jobs but never did I lose sight of the fact that I had a child who needed my love and care and spent all my time with him when I could and as an infant, well it was safety first for my child and then think about anything else and yes I was under depression medication back then too.
No excuses when you are a parent, either you take care of the child properly or go ahead with life without the child. I have done that to the father with due permission from the rightful authorities and tax adjustments too but we are not divorced and yes, I fought my depression off totally with just changing my thinking and looking at life differently and not by smoking pot and drinking - don't do any of it and true to my vows too.

THAT GIRL NEEDS SPECIAL HELP! FAST!

What a stupid and careless girl. You have a baby to take care of, drugs and alcohol should be the last thing on your mind.

She should be charged with criminal stupidity above all else. That's almost the same thing as getting drunk when you had to drive your son around....

Child endangerment at the least, if not neglect/abuse.

She has no business having a baby if she is going to act like that.

Great just what we need another stupid little girl giving the rest of us young moms who actually take care of our kids a bad name.

What a bunch of lowlifes!
I think people should be able to smoke what they want at home, but it still doesn't mean you should, especially when kids are involved.
You can tell just by looking at her she is still 12 year old in a 19 year old's body.
I really worry for my generation!
“the purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live.”

A dope on dope,inexcusable take the baby before the baby becomes another statistic.....

While she possibly didn't do it on purpose, she seems to not be responsible towards her child. Driving while under the influence, drinking alcohol... dude, you phucked right up.

There's forgetting your kid, and then there's forgetting your kid is on top of the car and then driving away in that car.

triple whammy. First:felony-the baby could have been killed and there is no way of knowing if the child did not sustain head injuries that will not show up unless there are more tests done. Second:Why didn't the police arrest or prevent the mom from driving after being under the influence of drinking beer and smoking pot, which must have impaired her reflexes too if they would have checked her. Where they being too "sympathetic" and not protecting the baby?Third:At the very least child endangerment, she has no clue or concern for the safety or well being of her child.I am tired of these self indulgent teens.

While I don't disagree with you I want to point out that the baby is unlikely to have sustained any permenent brain damage. Those car seats are amazing. There is a reason they are called "orphan makers" in an accident. Often the parents perish while the kid comes out unscathed.

I'm by no means trying to excuse this girl for her selfish actions. I hope she realizes that while her son may be unharmed in a medical sence if she doesn't shape up she may create many other psychological issues down the line.

Accident, it wasn't intentional. But I still think she deserved to have her baby taken from her and she should be charged with negligence.

I hope the baby was taken away.

could it be both?

She obviously has a lot of growing up to do. This is why most young girls should not become mothers. However, whether we like it or not pot is illegal, and even if it was legal, it is not something she should be partaking in directly around her extremely young child.

Side note: her car must be awfully short or she must be very tall, because there is no way I could lift that clumsy heavy ass car seat onto the roof of my car in a way that makes it convenient.

Pot is not the issue or the legality of it. The same would have happened if it were booze.

Yes, it possibly would have... Which automatically shows that it IS AN (not THE) issue here.. There are many issues at play here. As a mother of a young child I am also a pot smoker, and whether you like it or not pot is a drug that can have some serious temporary effects on your mental capacity.

Take the child away and make her go into rehab for any drug addictions including marijuana.
